February Updates

Sutton is now 4 and 1/2 months old! At 4 months he weighed 15lbs 11oz. (75th percentile) and was 26.5 inches tall (95%). This is the exact same height that Owen was and a pound and a half lighter. Last Thursday (Jan. 31st) he rolled over for the first time, both front to back and back to front. He loves putting everything in his mouth and isn't very happy when he drops whatever toy he's chewing on. He likes bouncing in the jumperoo (pictured below), watching Owen run around like the crazy person that he is, and sitting in his Bumbo-like chair that Kathy got for him. He recently started splashing around in the bath a lot so we finally had to move the baby bath into the regular bathtub to avoid a huge mess. Tonight Owen and Sutton took a bath together for the first time. It was pretty cute.

I just love the jeans and tennis shoes on this little guy!

Bath time fun!

Owen is 41 inches tall and 39 pounds. I don't know the exact percentages, but I can tell you it's huge! Obviously, not as many changes over the past month as the ever-changing Sutton, but he's still been very active. Below he is doing his new dinosaur puzzle with Colin. He LOVES this puzzle. Did it at least 15 times within the first two days we had it, and it takes him a long time to do. It's the size of our coffee table and according to Owen you better watch out, because the dinosaurs bite! He's been learning about dinosaurs at school and is also getting better at recognizing letters that he learns at school. He just doesn't like to learn from me... the reinforcement from a second souce definitely helps a lot. His favorite thing right now is playing on the computer. He has an I Spy game that my aunt gave him last year and is perfect for his age and computer ability right now. He also loves to use the Paint program. He's learning fast and getting suprisingly good at using the mouse and knowing what to do. He unfortunately has stopped taking naps, but we now have quiet time every day. My favorite recent owen anecdote: last week when it was raining I was struggling to carry Sutton under the umbrella and Owen told me that I needed to insteaed use the umbrella to keep his piece of candy dry. This really is his priorities!
